Hotel Transylvania is a cute little movie that will entertain the kids
and their parents won´t find it absolutely boring. I must admit that
judging by the cast, I was expecting a lot more from it but the movie
managed to get a couple of laughs out of me. It is full of nice quick
gags that although being a little obvious the actors made them funny,
and as well as their characters, very likeable. I do have a little
problem with people calling Frankenstein´s monster Frankenstein, since
Frankenstein was the doctor who made the monster, oh well...
I found Hotel Transylvania to be a fast going movie but also typical. It´s the predictable story of a daughter clashing with her father, who in the end realizes he must let go. Not very original, but at least the dialogue is.
The movie looks really good, nice animation, nice
color, there is a 3D version, which I didn´t watch and it has a nice
pace. The actors are having fun playing their parts. Buscemi and James
have the best lines and Fran Drescher does a fine job portraying
Frankenstein´s monster´s wife as a loud, over the top New Jersey
housewife.
What matters in the end, is that the kids enjoy it,
since it is intended for them but yes, it is nice as a parent to also be
able to have fun taking our kids to the movies. I had a good time
watching this (although, I must admit I was in very good company* while
doing so). There´s a lesson here for over-protective parents and the little
ones will be happy. Hopefully it will make some kids interested in the
original stories of these characters.
